About Pulsworks Audio Arts

Music can change your life. The same experience enjoyed in the concert hall you can enjoy in your home too, but only if faithfully reproduced. We started Pulsworks Audio Arts to help people enjoy the best possible audio entertainment in their home. The combination of our knowledge and experience, carefully chosen products, and excellent customer service make this happen.

On this page, we provide information on our store. Please call or stop by if you have any questions, and see how we can make your next music system purchase more satisfying.

Why we're different

Here are two reasons. First, we specialize in performance audio systems. We are very focused on knowing what products perform best, and combining them into systems that give the best results. We are also skilled on setting up these systems properly, so that you get all the performance possible. This is all we do-we don't sell car stereo systems, video cameras, alarm systems or appliances. Nor are we part of a large chain of stores that focuses on profitability through buying in what makes the most money. You can count on personalized advice and support with every purchase at Pulsworks.

Second, we sell all of our products by demonstration. When you buy a car, you drive it. When you buy wine, you taste it. When you buy a music system (more important than the others!), you should listen to it. We know of no magazine or set of specifications that can tell you which collection of components is right for you, your home, and your expectations. With our assistance, you can listen and decide for yourself. And don't worry, you will hear a difference! In our experience, anyone who can tell the difference between two different brands of ice cream, or two different shirt fabrics, or the way two different cars drive, can also hear the difference between two different CD players or two different amplifiers or ... whatever. And when we demonstrate products, we actually hook them up together the way you will do at home. We don't run everything through switchboxes and comparators, which will hide both good and bad qualities and make a valid comparison impossible. Those things belong in car stereo stores. If you see something like that in what you think is a quality audio store, run away.

Isn't it all real expensive?

No. Many people think that they can't afford a high performance sound system, but they really can. For the same money that you would spend on a rack system at an appliance or department store, you can get a sound system at Pulsworks that will give you infinitely more pleasure. It will not only sound a lot more like the real thing, it will also be more reliable and, more than likely, be easier to operate.

That's because we select products that are designed for sound quality, not buttons, lights, features, etc. We have systems that include a CD player, stereo receiver, and speakers for under $1500. And whether you're spending $1500 or $50,000, you still get our full level of service. We'll spend the time to help you pick the right components, and then we'll deliver and set up your system at no charge, making sure that you get the best performance possible.

Is system setup important?

System setup is very important. We're constantly horrified at how poorly many (expensive) systems sound in peoples' homes, because they aren't set up correctly.

Speakers should be properly placed if you want to achieve the best possible sound, and even a few inches one way or the other can make a difference. (That's why we'll ask you about where you can place your speakers, when you're choosing them. Different speakers have different placement requirements.) Components also have placement considerations, and it's important to make the right cable choices for each application. Hooking everything up correctly is of course essential, not just so that it works, but so that it works optimally, delivering the total performance possible, and operates safely. Because system setup is so important to get the best possible sound, we offer it free of charge with every system purchase.
